Nice work! Do you run your light at full blast through the whole flower cycle or do you increase the power as you progress?

Full power from the start. The Growcraft x600 hardly gets to 600 watts. One of them goes to 588 and the other to 598.
I ran my Black Banana Cookies under this light and the Diablo and the Diablo beats it in the yield department @ the same 600 watts. Not by a lot but the average yield was 48 grams per plant under the Chilled compared to 60 with the Diablo.

Very nice pics. 20% more on the Diablo is significant. What hanging height for each fixture?

I was running 16 two gallon plants under the 600 watt hps and made the same move to 16 under the LED. Then I saw the big increase in yield and decided to switch to 9 plants using 3.5 gallon pots to make less work for myself. They just went into flower yesterday so we will see how it all works out in a few months.
EDIT: The BBC only gave me 35 grams per plant under the HPS. Big difference in yield under the same watts with both types of LED.

I'm running them at about 2 feet above the canopy but I noticed I can keep them much closer if I wanted to. I recently put a few Girl Crush from Twentytwenty Mendocino and one of them grew so tall it was only 2 inches away from the Diablo and burned the top. So I snipped 6 inches off from the tallest cola's and they are doing fine now.
I'll post some pics in a minute.

You've got your dancin shoes on now. That diablo is tearing it up nicely. Great choice on lighting hardware.

A few pics of my BBC, Corey Stardawg and ADUB just flipped to 12 hours yesterday in my new 9 plant method. These are going into the Growcraft tent as soon as the TK and GG crosses finish. Right now they are under an HLG 550 Bspec @ about 470 watts.
They really seem to like that Roots Organic Calmag. I have never seen my leaf surface so shiny before.

Switched back to Dyna Gro and so far so good. No Bloom at all. Gave them a lot of Foliage Pro @ flip and they paid me back with the stretch I was looking for....................some went a bit too far lol 
I'm now using 50/50 Foliage Pro and Grow @ around 600 ppm (R/O water) with a small dose of Calmag added. I also switched soil from Roots Organic to Mother Earth Groundswell. Huge improvement and no gnats!
My veg rooms have vastly improved and flowers are much more robust with most main fans lasting until pulled. Some recent veg pics.
This is the Girl Crush just transplanted from 1 gallon to 3 gallon pots. Topped and defoliated yesterday. They are around 24 days veg.
This is the SFG. Also trans/topped/defoliated yesterday from 1 to 2 gallon pots. She grows like a weed. Straight up is all she knows so she gets the smaller pots.
This is the Girl Crush @ 54 days since flip
This is the SFG same time frame.
